I need blue revere collar blouses for DD's school uniform. Has anyone bought any recently?

Very few shops seem to sell these now. I have found some at John Lewis but they don't seem to be fitted in shape which I would prefer as my DD is wide on the hips . Has anyone bought any recently that are a more fitted shape?

Sorry I can't help but your post made me smile. Brought back memories of when I started secondary school, got my uniform list and had no idea what a revere collar was Grin

We need white revere collar shirts and have found them from John Lewis, M&S and Asda. You could try them for a start for blue ones.

Are there any specialist uniform shops where you are? Or any online ones?

I'm not sure you'll need more fitted ones, surely she'll be tucking the shirt into the skirt / trousers so it won't matter?

What age is she? Marks and Spencer sell them and the senior range claims to be more fitted. However, I did pick up DDs blazer yesterday which again was supposed to be senior girls fitted blazer but its still the same old box shape we could have bought for half the price at the uniform shop down the road.

My older daughter had a mixture of fitted and not fitted and they look roomier over the hips than straight up and down. I'd have to buy DD2 a far too large chest size to ensure the shirt fits over her hips. Sadly she doesn't fit DD1's hand-me-downs. M&S and Asda only do white in the revere collar. I'll try the John Lewis ones but will have to order a few sizes as they are sized by age. I'll keep looking for some fitted ones sold by chest size in the meantime.

Thanks everyone. I can't see how to order on Trutex. Uniform247 will do the job. I hadn't realised they sold them in blue also. Ebay would normally be my friend but not for the size I need in this case.
